Former Lightning camper Seth Griffith scored an empty net goal for his 26th goal of the season as London topped division rival Guelph, 3-1. The undrafted Griffith has 46 points in 33 games to go with a plus-17 rating. He has a 12 game point streak going and has had at least a point in 24 of his last 26 games. He was passed over in last yearâ€™s draft and camped with the Lightning before being sent back to the OHL without a contract. He sits in sixth in the OHL in points and is second in goals.

Likely 2012 top-3 pick Nail Yakupov had a goal and an assist in Sarniaâ€™s win over Geoffrey Schemitsch and Owen Sound. The Russian has 51 points in 25 games. Yakupov, Lightning prospect Nikita Kucherov, and Quebec Rempart Mikhail Grigorenko are expected to be the offensive leaders for Russia in the upcoming U20 World Junior Championships.

Namestnikov scored at about the 1:00 mark of the first period â€“ his 17th of the season â€“ then assisted on Seth Griffithâ€™s 25th of the year later in the game but it wasnâ€™t enough for the CHLâ€™s top ranked team to beat the Petes. Namestnikov failed to convert a penalty shot attempt in the game.

Heâ€™s back! Though he was scoreless in the game, Schemitsch (pictured) played his first game since being injured November 12. His name has been mentioned in the local press for being possible trade bait as Owen Sound looks toward the future.

Milanâ€™s scoreless streak hit nine games in a loss to Baie-Comeau. Moncton was playing its first game without captain and Coyotesâ€™ first round pick Brandon Gormely, who is in Calgary for Team Canadaâ€™s World Junior Championships camp.

Milan has not registered a point in eight games. He is minus-5 during that time. Milan is fourth in points for the year among Wildcat defensemen. While Lightning management said they signed Milan for his defensive abilities and offense is a bonus, one suspects they weren't expecting him to slump this bad after a 38-point rookie season.

Schemitsch (pictured) hasnâ€™t played since November 12 because of an upper body injury. He is still being listed as day-to-day. Mark Scheifele, who started the season with the Winnipeg Jets, had two goals in the game for Barrie. He has 11 goals and 32 points in 18 games this season for the Colts.

QMJHL Note: Teenage phenom Nathan MacKinnon (pictured), 16, had five goals for Halifax in a win over Quebec Saturday night. The Halifax native has 19 goals and 49 points in 29 games so far this season. Expect him to go first overall in the 2013 NHL draft.

Namestnikovâ€™s four game point streak was snapped in a road win over Geoffrey Schemitsch-less Owen Sound. Namestnikovâ€™s teammate, Andreas Athanasiou (2012 draft eligible), had four goals in the game. Schemitsch hasnâ€™t played since November 12 because of an upper body injury.
